| Looks interesting but the art was a bit simple looking. The main seems nice tho not sure with herself, not that i can blame her. I wonder what more we can expect from this. |
Well, this is the same "light" anime vein alright... A motion comic this is one worth bingeing on the side. |
 |
| Decent enough start the artstyle is interesting I wasnt expecting it to be like a motion comic. |
The animation is like stick figure CGI or something like that |

| @elkensteyin OK, so scratch my previous comment - this was apparently built from the ground up as a motion comic, so it was an artistic choice. Storyline isn't anything to write home about, however. |
|
| oh man, I was looking for some simple stuff to watch but I can't look at that... too bad if it was an artistic choice |
| I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. |
| ... why does it look like this LOL this is not at all what I was expecting. I didn't think the episodes would be shorter either, but that's the least of my concerns rn. The poster looked nice too, but I'm really not a fan of the animation :/ |
 |
| Wow such awful animation. Looks like a web comic which wouldn't be as terrible if it was just a web comic. All these 2D morph style animations just look awkward. Equally didnt expect it to be a mini series, but I guess that doesn't matter with it being an instant drop anyway. Bummer because I typically like the generic potion selling isekai. |

| A lot people hating on the animation. It was quite simple, but that does not bother me. The more important bit is the story which I shall I say just from episode one, umm not a lot happened. She found herself in a strange world and a book to tell her how to make potions. She just made grass and water potions and sold them... |
| It's been a while that I gave 3/10 to a show. |
| saw a little bit of the episode... not worth starting. |

| I hope this doesn't become a thing...I don't want to watch animated comics, I want to watch actual shows. |
| Pretty meh. We have seen this type of stuff far too many times. Well, at least the animation makes this a bit unique. |
 |
| Probably an instant drop, but I'll likely give it to episode two making it a near-instant drop. The slightly more than half-length episodes make watching two episodes a similar time commitment as watching one of a normal episode-length series anyway. The first thing which caught me off-guard was the animation as I wasn't expecting it to be this minimal motion webcomic style. It reminds me of some past seasonals I didn't end up watching but saw previews of or watched a minute of or so which were just basically audio with static frames, more like what I imagine an audiobook with pictures or visual novel is like. But that doesn't bother me much. I'll always watch anything regardless of animation and art style or quality, depending on if the premise interests me enough and writing sells it. But then I wasn't expecting the shorter episodes. That does take it down a notch in my consideration as I usually try to avoid bothering with all the shorts, even if this is of a longer length than those super short 1 minute or 3 - 5 minute ones, and sits somewhere in-between those and a normal full length episode. But the problem is mainly just with what the runtime was used for. Super basic setup you feel you can get as much detail and satisfaction from simply reading a synopsis of. Very standard isekai. Japanese high school girl arrives in unfamiliar European-inspired fantasy world with mechanics or other influences of JRPGs and video games. Makes magical item and barters for food or sells for foreign currency. Shop, inn, stroll through town. Etc. Pretty bland. They have to do something more with the next episode, short as it is, to make me want to continue to see any more from this. Right now it just comes off like a basic sketch outline of a thousand different isekai. As an isekai at least it's a tad more appealing to me than some in that: 1.) The main character is a girl or woman, as used to be more prevalent either as the majority, or there at least used to be more mixed ratios instead of always the male otaku hikko NEET 2.) The main character actually wants to return home at some point rather than them saying or the show itself indicating they despised their life in their old world in Japan on Earth and had no future and nothing of value to live for and want to return to 3.) The main character actually may be able to return home, in line with that desire, since it appears that she is in her same original body from Earth, didn't die to be reincarnated, and instead just teleported to this other universe probably as a result of some deity's summoning So far, and this was known even before watching it based on the premise, it's the most similar series I've seen or heard of to Potion-danomi de Ikinobimasu!, an isekai from 2023 which I ended up rating a 5/10 and is one of my least favorite isekai I've seen. But in that series the main character was often very obnoxious and she had also died and been reincarnated so had no prospects of returning back home, so it's already a little different in that sense. This could prove slightly better due to the main character and their isekai'd circumstances, but if I already get the feeling early on from the second episode that it's something I'll just end up mostly finding bland and rating average or below, then I'll just proceed to drop. |
| I was interested in this (love my alchemist anime), but the art style is too much for me, hit's the uncanny valley for me, stopped it in the first 30 seconds. |
| Damn I love power point animes. |
| bruh, this "animation" ( T_T ) |
| So the Yami Shibai guy hit by truck-kun ended up in isekai as a girl and start making potion huh. |
| . |
| Ain't no way people are sucking on copium about the animation that it was a stylised choice. Studio makes cheap animation with a quick turn around. Everything they made is in this style and it's just a bare bones isekai so the animation is where it's supposed to make it better. I feel sorry for the creator of the story. |
| this is a slideshow made from PowerPoint, an AI will be leagues better than this PowerPoint presentation feel like this level of animation belongs is from a third world class project but when you see the line up seiyuus for this this is legitimate an anime from japan china is taking over the animation sector and South Korea with their manwhas and novels |

| I am in love with the opening song Koi no Magic Potion (恋のマジックポーション)" by TRiDENT. Originally released as a single on 12/12/1991.. Man that's before my birth, before anime like slam dunk. 90s glam metal Album: A Case of Rosy Murder For Miracle Lovers Only (1992) |

| Hondo Kaede as Kaede, its funny. I don't mind with the animation. |
 |
| I am also enjoying this unique way of anime presentation. I quite curious how the story will continue. She probably will make even more complex kind of potions. The store keeper seems to be trustworthy who bought her potions. |
 |
| I fell asleep halfway watching the first episode. |

| @Marinate1016 It's seems to be intentionally an animated comic. I think that is throwing people off. Also probably does not help the first episode not much happened. |
| wow. was that even animation? i think i've seen CGA student film projects with better quality than that 1st episode. it was like a visual novel or web-comic or flat animation or picture drama. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| The animations and plot is very basic. I liked it though |

| @Marinate1016 I think the GIF posted here: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?goto=post&topicid=2235089&id=73337745 Kinda gives an idea. |
| Pretty relaxing. Oddly enough, can't wait for the next episode. :b |
